Sunday 7 April 2019

I woke a daybreak, feeling relieved we had opted for the quieter, but less convenient berth, having intermittently heard the bass of the night club music thumping, during the night. It stopped at about 6am. It wasn’t intrusive at the distance we are away. Steve didn’t even hear it, but it’s good to not be next door to it.

Getting up required jumping straight into some clothes, as its only been 15c inside the boat the last two mornings. I don’t feel guilty about putting on the electric heating, as its an opportunity to check its working.

After a leisurely breakfast, trying to avoid the depressing news in the newspaper, we set to on the days work. This is mainly still cleaning the boat inside and out. We started at the front and this morning it was the turn of the starboard aft cabin. Steve also laid the anchor chain out on the dock, to check all was well with that, especially as our first stop from here will be an anchorage. That all went well and the anchor chain locker is now squeaky clean.

It was a beautiful morning with little wind, so we able to sit on deck to have morning coffee and lunch, enjoying the pretty views of the harbour, the beach and the town seafront. Within an hour of our lunch the wind had whipped up into a gale again.

We checked the new cockpit seat cushions that Pepe has made for us. They are superb, except for a small mistake in one. He’s basically made two starboard side cushions. He had said to contact him if there’s any problem, so I just hope he can fix it before we want to leave.
